As part of the Power User Menu in Windows 8.1, users can quickly access shut down, sleep, and restart functions by right-clicking on the desktop’s Start Button. But some users may also want quick access to hibernation.

How to get hibernate option :

Step One:
                  Launch the Control Panel and head to System and Security > Power Options > Choose What the Power Button Does.

Step Two:
                  In order to modify these settings, you’ll need to authenticate with User Account Control. Select “Change settings that are currently unavailable” to enable access to this window’s settings.

Step Three:
                     Find the section at the bottom labeled “Shutdown Settings.” By default, three of the four boxes should be checked. Check the Hibernate box to make it appear as a shutdown option and click Save changes to close the window.

                   You can now close any remaining Control Panel windows. Head back to the Power User Menu by right-clicking on the Start Button. You’ll now find that a new Hibernate option is listed under the “Shut down or sign out” section.
